Many of the musicians I know are bootstrappers. We get things done, and we get things done the easiest way possible. I loved this conversation with Marc Hoffman, who went GLOBAL to make his project all the more impressive!

Marc Hoffman was born in NC, received a BM in composition from the North Carolina School of the Arts, and completed additional study in film composition at the University of Southern California. He also studied at The Dartington International Summer School of Music in Devon, England. Notable composition teachers include David Ott, Sherwood Shaffer, Leo Arnaud, and Neal Hefti. He composes concert, film, jazz instrumental and vocal, solo piano and choral pieces and songs. Recent commissions include a string quartet, made possible by a grant from ASG, and a woodwind trio composed for Charlotte New Music Festival, and premiered by Phoenix Down Trio. Marc performs 200-plus dates a year as a soloist and with his trio, with a repertoire of original jazz, and his own arrangements of standards, ballads, Motown, and pop. Also an educator, Marc teaches composition, jazz improv, piano, and voice.

His woodwind trio, Telegraph, was recorded in Lviv, Ukraine during the conflict by members of the Lviv National Philharmonic.
